Thanks very much, Asher!

Tony,

On technique:

Did you use flash and some tele-extender like Better Beamer for these amazingly bright shots?

Hi Asher,

No flash was used. I still rely on natural side-lighting to capture my favorite types of bird photos. Early morning sunlight provides plenty of dramatic light to play with. I'm still enjoying my "fixed-lens" Sony DSC-RX10 M4 bridge camera. What a sensational camera! I believe you have a link to my website If you're ever interested in seeing more of what this camera can do.

Best,
Tony

Thank you, Doug. I'm glad you like the photos. The Snowy Egret is my favorite bird to photograph!

It’s so hard to believe that a 1” sensor sized bridge camera, even a Sony, could achieve such brilliant results. I am in awe!

Another nice one, Will. Early morning sunlight is wonderful to work with!

 

[Tony Britton]

Here's a mix of Great & Snowy Egrets I hope you'll enjoy!

 

[Will Thompson]

I love the added detail of the fish!

And another of mine.

 

[Asher Kelman]

Will and Tony,

I am blown away by the love of nature you both show and the fabulous payoff one can get by organizing oneself specifically for a goal of recording such phenomenon beauty.

I am so grateful that your pictures enhance OPF and make it worthwhile!

Tony I am amazed by the luck that you and I both shot the same species of birds.

And the last of mine in the series.
